    <smaug> Zakim:, [IPcaller] is me

beforescroll, magnify ideas

    Very interesting ideas.

    wheel event provides some of these use cases (for panning anyway).

    smaug: Chatted with Joao and recommended that these ideas be
    addressed in a future events spec.

    shepazu: We're pretty much feature-complete at this point.

DOMActivate

    shepazu: Spoke with PF WG and addressed the topic of deprecating
    DOMActivate.
    ... Their resolution was that they had no objections so long as
    activation behvior is retained (we have clarified that) and make it
    more clear that "click" is device independent.
    ... I will add some specific text to the spec to address these point
    immediately.
    ... From XForms WG, they are still concerned about deprecating
    DOMActivate.
    ... All of our "optional" features are also "deprecated" at the
    moment.
    ... One approach to addressing the concerns of XForms is to keep
    DOMActivate as optional, but remove the "deprecated" status.
    ... I'm not thrilled about splitting the concept of "optional" and
    "deprecated".
    ... Given that a majority of other WG are on board (including
    accessibility), we believe that any objections at this point should
    be taken to the list, and addressed at last call.

textInput and input modes

    In some scenarios (editing w/execCommands and contenteditable), we
    may not be able to discern script from end-user input.

    <scribe> ACTION: shepazu to add note to input mode (for textInput)
    that "source script" should not be used as a basis for security
    decisions, as some UAs may not be able to discern between script and
    end-user input. [recorded in
    [9]http://www.w3.org/2010/03/31-webapps-minutes.html#action01]

    <trackbot> Created ACTION-512 - Add note to input mode (for
    textInput) that "source script" should not be used as a basis for
    security decisions, as some UAs may not be able to discern between
    script and end-user input. [on Doug Schepers - due 2010-04-07].

composition start/end and cancelable

    smaug: Got some feedback regarding the ability to cancel IMEs in GTK
    in Unix-based OS
    ... didn't seem to be able to cancle the IME on these platforms.
    ... need to get further clarification.

    Travis: I also had some feedback that I'll send to the list.

    <shepazu> trackbot, end telcon

Summary of Action Items

    [NEW] ACTION: shepazu to add note to input mode (for textInput) that
    "source script" should not be used as a basis for security
    decisions, as some UAs may not be able to discern between script and
    end-user input. [recorded in
